Reeva BBS RS Reps fitted

Wed Jan 12, 2011 8:52 pm

Got my 15 inch BBS RS Reps fitted with 10mm spacers this weekend. Not bad for chinese rip offs,better than paying 1400 pounds to BBS,no wonder the've gone bust.
Wheels were from Reeva 325 pounds.

These are the 17's so you might have to ring them about the 15's

Wheels come with click in sprung centre caps, at this price you wouldn't expect proper screw in centre caps.
Just been on Reeva's web site,and they're currently not showing the 15 inch bbs rs reps.
Someone previously meantioned that the turn around for new wheels from china is 9 weeks.I,m pretty sure Reeva will have more 15's on order.

Very nice! Good price that £325....

Can see a few more sets appearing out there !

I got these in 17" on my cab, when they arrived I took a centre cap off and the lugs that hold the steel ring snapped, they were just to tight to remove in one piece, have you had trouble with yours at all? I removed the steel ring but now they are really loose that I'd probably lose them.

Thu Jan 13, 2011 8:27 pm

Yes, i had trouble removing the first one, i to broke a Lug,but fortunately it still holds fast.I left the steel ring on.
Removing the centre cap is a problem, i use a very thin screw driver and try not to damage the paint.
You get what you,ve paid for! Cheap Wheels, but look good.

I'm gonna try and close the rings up a little so as they are not so tight, I broke four lugs on the first cap so I had to buy another!

I fitted them to mine afew weeks back - sorry for the image quality... they are OK but mine are running the 50 profile - It's going to be lowered soon before you mention it! Agreed on the centre caps - useless.

And yes it is on a T registration due to the DVLA hash up when it came in from Jersey... soon to be rectified

Are these the same size as OE BBS 15's??

Reason i ask is that i've not long got some nice toyo's on my OE bbs and if i could swap them over to a set of these i would be very intrested in getting a set

Tue Jan 18, 2011 3:04 pm

Nice car.. But sadly they look like reps, and for that. I'm out.

Tue Jan 18, 2011 4:21 pm

7 x 15 same offset as the normal BBS. Agreed they deffo do not look original but the style is quite nice. Only thing that lets them down is the centre cap and the lip which is machined and not polished.

Tue Jan 18, 2011 4:35 pm

I closed the steel rings up in the center caps a little bit at the weekend and now they fit perfect and don't break when removed, just a pair of pliers to bend them a little. Job done

Tue Jan 18, 2011 4:55 pm

Cheers Brett - I will try that on mine!

Tue Jan 18, 2011 8:08 pm

Stunning as ever Nick.

are you going with or without the tech 1 skirts ?

Wed Jan 19, 2011 5:39 pm

Thanks Alex,
If i could find a 'real' pair of Tech 1 skirts, then yes i'll be fitting them one day.
How's your cab coming on? your re-build has slowed down,must be the winter weather.

its getting there doing bits at a time, i got some genuine cabby side skirts pretty much straight away, however they are costly, i paid £140 for mine which was cheap

done a fair few bits to the cab here and there just not updated the thread

will probably be fitting my 15" bbs of the IS to it tomorrow so might update it then
